I feel bad killing teammates, it seems when a fellow teammate was nice and tight with a raven next to a LRM target when I sent in 30 LRMS the teammate got splashed damaged killed. That is not ok.

Yet another pants on head ******** untested patch again ffs

[Murkhan]

As LRM boat CTLT-C1 a can say LRM overpowered now and need fix.
I love LRMs its normal then 2-3 lrm boat in match but not 5-6, it's boring.

P.S. Last match i destroed both LEGS to trebuchet, from 3 valleys 15*2+Art, lol.

[Keyonastring]

Quite simply, before patch the LRM's felt like they works right. if I got myself in the open, like an *****, i would take 3 or 4 volleys and be dead. If I was lucky I could escape and only loose an arm and maybe shoulder, but I was almost dead. If there was someone good, or with a good spotter they could still rip into your team and be a huge support.

An LRM is a support weapon, not a direct assault weapon. My Atlas with ECM and two(2) AMS should be able to fend off a volley with a few dings, not loose half my body or die.

If you don't think this is a problem then you just like to exploit bugs.

[Vellinious]

Yeah, I'm done until the patch to fix this. Everyone is exploiting the bug and just taking as many LRM's as they can cram into their mechs. This isn't what I signed up for.

[madMAx666]

Just did over 1300 DMG in my JM6 with 2x UAC/5 + 4x SRM4 and with 6 tons and 2 tons of ammo respectively.

The match was long enough that i spent all ammo except 2 single SRM missiles were left at the end of the match (my last UAC shot killed the last enemy).

Theoretically my max. DMG with that setup is: 150*5 + 200*2.5 = 1250 DMG.
My weapon stats are ~50% accuracy for both the UAC and SRM4.

So it seems like the SRMs are doing more than twice if not triple the damage.

The only chance of beating a lrm boat now is boating PPCs of your own. Boat this, boat that. Is this boat warrior or what? Show some imagination and fix this problem immediately.

>LRMs need a tracking nerf
Anyone remember the days when LRMs tracked without a lock after launching them? This guy would have just had a fit! I agree that LRMs rip people open, but a lot of people who use LRMs also mount lots of LRMs.

[Cest7]

LRM/Missiles need a fix yesterday. Is there even internal testing?

[Mad Pig]

No more splashing in the puddles?

[Corvus Antaka]

I've seen lrm/srm/med laser stalker pretty much one shotting anything under 65 tons, and 2 shotting everything over. srms are definitely borked too.

Like Nacon said, you're new, and obviously haven't read the known issues. Missile splash damage is bugged right now, a single missile against smaller mechs, instead of doing something like 2.5, does instead 12 damage, approximately. Only on the smaller chassis though, like Commando, Jenner, Raven, etc., although on a Flame you might feel some effects. Anyway, relax, rant and rave about quitting all you like or not, but the forums are for calm discussion, not flipping out like a ten year old.

I agree, but I'm definitely feeling the frustration that Raptorak expressed.

Someone drop me an email when we're out of Beta. I can't take these spikes to my blood pressure.

Missle damage is definitely "borked". I took out my Stalker 3F with 4 LRMx15 with Artemis build and was amazed at the results. Until this patch, the damage would be maybe 400-500 and 1-2 kills because the ECM was so common. But now I catch a mech in the open without ECM and they die by the second volley from decapitation. Seems LRMs do so much splash damage they blow the head of any targeted mech by my second salvo. Had rounds with 1200+ damage and 5+ kills, almost too easy . . .

Well, if you were left alone the entire game, the other team didn't have any ECM, you had spotters doing their job, and were running a Stalker with nothing else but ammo to burn, why would this be unusual?

The problem with almost all the accounts is that the information is only how much damage total was done. It doesn't list the actual circumstances, nor how much time it took to do it, so a post like that above is really meaningless.

-- etc

My point is that with 2 x LRM20's and 2 x LRM5's i did a large amount of damage (1790), whereas before the latest patch i would struggle to do this much....

For what its worth, they had 3 ECM mechs (i have tag) and i was on the front line. Their DDC with 3xLRM15's had me targeted most of the match but i used cover effectively. And i have 3 med lasers too, so i can defend myself somewhat. STK-3H - 2xALRM20's, 2xALRM5's, 3xMLAS, 1xTAG, 8 Tonne LRM ammo

I didnt make the post just to brag about damage, but to highlight how ridiculous lrms are right now.

Anyway, lrms need a nerf/fix/whatever. Until then, its LRMPOCALYPSE 2013!

I will not play this game until they fix this bug, period.

[DamnCatte]

This LRM madness is both amusing and irritating, two sides of one coin. My impression after a few matches ended up being something like "Holy crap? Did I slip back into november's LRM online?"

The patch seems to have dones something that looks like a complete logical fallacy: "We fixed that splash damage wasn't working right on legs. So we made the broken splash damage work properly broken, and aimed it directly at everyone's legs just to test it."

[Martin Oberhofer]

as a fan of statistics i log my daily MWO stats to an execl sheet
so by detraction my yesterday results:
LRM 15 - 458 HIT - 1221 Damage = 2,666 Damage/Missile
SSRM2 - 58 HIT - 229 Damage = 3,948 Damage/Missile

think it says it all

Your exploding straight away has nothing to do with others firing missiles at you, and everything to do with how you are playing the game.

This kind of thread pops up a lot, but it's not because missiles are the be all and end all.

You just need to use the cover mechanics properly, saying you got hit with LRM's 'miles away' is embarrassing.

year write noob how about alphine peaks where is cover or Caustic valley
i bet u use only lrm and you have not yet explored the maps yourself

Have you actually seen how long it takes missiles to reach a target at max range?

You could finish your cup of tea before having to deal with them, even in alpine.

So yes, it is embarrassing if you get hit by them.

[Naos04]

I chose to play with stalkers mechs equipped with lasers those days. (i like direct fire wpeaons)
Before this patch it was deadly. Now it's just useless.

i get head blasted almost evry time with lrm (it never happened before).
i have max armor EVERYWHERE + ams

72 leg armor and get legged easly ? wdf ?
being dead with 2 or 3 15lrm fire ?!


Clearly there is something wrong with lrm that need to be fix ASAP.
